Jacobs just ran 9.85 and came fifth in the Olympic final. This after years with injuries. Respect to Jacobs!

What he does now and forever will never matter…fact of the matter is MARCELL is and will go down in history as an Olympic gold medalist after bolt. His name is in the history books regardless. Lots of good runners who have never even medaled at any champs let alone the Olympics. You are remember for the bling not the perfomance, in any sport it’s the bling 💍 🏅.

One underrated thing about Marcel Jacobs is his ability to maintain composure and stay calm under pressure. He keeps his running form very well. That’s something that might pay off on the big stage.

I tell my athletes I train … you only have to win 1 event in your life .. the Olympic Final … ( I literally showed my athletes how it’s possible to qualify and get to the Olympics by coming second!) …. If you win that final … EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING else is irrelevant ( world records, rankings etc). Go ask any athletes in any sport ( where the Olympics is the Pinnacle ) …. If they would give back everything they have ever won just for that Gold Medal … and all serious athletes will give the same answer.. yes. Once you have won one Olympic gold … that is it you can retire ( sure if you want to win more medals that up to you). Understand what an Olympic Gold in athletics means … On the day it counted, against the best in the World , where everyone has trained specifically for that race … you won.. you ARE the best in the world. Full stop, no excuses, no arguments nothing… It doesn’t matter if Marcel Jacobs never runs a race in his life again … He has an Olympic Gold medal in the 100m! There are ONLY 10 men still alive today that can say that!

There are a lot of talk about Jacobs on the internet. For me, he is a superb runner and no "one hit wonder". He won the Olympics in both 100 and the relay, the indoor world championship in 60 meter, the European Championship in 100 meter, so with this record of achievements we have to view him as a very successful sprinter. In Oslo this year, it still doesn't look perfect technically for him. In this race it also looks like he's limping if you look carefully. We'll see if he manage to get everything in order to the Olympics. With Paolo Camossi as a coach he reached very good results. Now his coach is Rana Reider. Future will tell if Reider is the right guy for Jacobs. I'm not sure about that. But as I said, future will tell.

It wasn’t a fluke, Carl Lewis. However he got the perfect storm like Carl Lewis. The problem is he’s not running 9.7s in an era where 4 guys run that time. Two of those guys bookend his 1 championship win (Kerley and Coleman). He hasn’t beaten either of those guys since. In any 60m race he’d not be seeded over Coleman and Lyles. With the emergence of Lyles and Oblique only he’s not time seeded, he’s area seeded vs Zharnell Hughes. Bolt has changed the metric for greatness by winning 3 Olympic 100m finals. There was a time when winning one was enough to cement your legacy and I think Jacobs’ legacy is cemented. He beat all-comers!

I wonder if people would be calling it a fluke if he was representing USA or Jamaica? He came and ran the fastest time in the most high pressure race - no one who should have been there was missing and no one high profile pulled up injured. He also ran 9.84 in the semis and 9.8 in the final - no human being alive can fluke a 9.8 let alone twice - you run those times because of the work you have put in.

Lol he then went on to win World Indoor 60 meters and is also a two time european champion. So certainly not a fluke

Lamont Marcel Jacobs' 1st Place win was definitely NOT a fluke. It was a win against "B level", journeyman competition. You can tell that he's taking it easy during his Drive Phase, to make sure that he doesn't re-injure himself before he arrives in Paris.

Short answer Yes.

I am not a Jacob’s fan but he looked good in the European champs , especially the relay. Maybe he was injured on and off or maybe he plays with TUES , who knows . On another note why does Kerley get a pass? He makes bold statements on Instagram and hasn’t backed up one of them in the last 2 years. After a bold statement on Instagram that doesn’t come to pass the very next day on Instagram he’s unaccountable and bragging again, he’s gone to one of my favorites to I don’t know what is with him.

Jacobs is a 9.9 runner who, for literally one calendar day in 2021, became a 9.8 runner. And he picked a great day to do it! Does that make him a fluke? Well, being a 9.9 runner is pretty darn good. But was him winning the Olympic title an outlier? Clearly. Is he a historically great 100m runner? No. Does that mean he's a fluke? I guess it depends on how you define the word. But I'm not sure it really matters at the end of the day. You ain't taking his titles from him. And he has more than most people.

Jacobs used to regularly make semis and occasionally a final..after the glory and then the injury he's obviously hit a plateau. I put his odds at 50/50 he gets back to the final again. Podium? Less than 10% chance.

Me personally I don't give a fuck about a world champion or a Olympic champion. I need 9.79 or bellow. We speak in God leve when in comes to the 100m. Injury can cause a title. False start can cause a title or give you a title. You got to earn it through times because that puts you on God level and pays you

He's been running with one leg and dragging the other for two years. He needs to fix his sciatic nerve problem if he wants to run fast

I respect Noah's 19.31 all day and that put him in a all time great status but if you not in the 9.7 you are not a sprint God. I hear this saying of you can't take away a championship and I agree but you can't compare classes either and you can't take away that either. Flo Jo isn't Alive to compete for awards but times is what gives you God status. Every athlete that has been bellow 9. 80 is a God in my opinion. Gatlin is a guy who has done it so much. Gatlin did 9.85 as a 35 plus year old and that is sick. Placed 2nd to a youngest in the world championship. That was amazing at that age. I don't respect 9.8 and above on the Olympic and World championship level at all anymore. Fuck champions. I want to see the Gods and Gods compete with each other through times and this is how I compare them. The media cares about championships. I care about times only

Anything outside of 10 seconds won’t make it to the Olympic final. I said this a week ago.

The sport is too pure (apart from peds), technique, lack of interference, it doesnt lend itself to flukes.

I question whether or not he really wants it.

Simbine will win gold in Paris. I called it 2 months ago.

Jacobs hasn't ran sub-10 since August 2022.

Jacobs italian forghet USA 9.92

Jacobs was juicing hard in 2020. His physique is a dead giveaway

I don’t like the fluke talk, you have to stay healthy for the entire season and anything can go left at any practice or race or even at home. It was his time.

They never even knew his name when he won the gold, so keep discounting jacobs...😂

If I could put a millions pound on him not winning then I would, he kinda fluked that final in my opinion even though he is an amazing athlete he now has got no chance with the competitors now as I reckon the winning time will have to be a 9.7 at least

jacobs is not in 9,80 shape more a 10.00 runner - 9.92 was wind aided

Theese are expert, people that know the material 8obviously I'm not talking about Gatlin)... 24 hours later this sentence Jacobs ran in 9,92 sec... Listen to me: try another hobby. P.S. obviously is not the favourite but his progression (10.19 - 10.07 - 10.05 - 10.03 - 9.99 - 9.92) is a serious thing.

Fluff, Gatlin, where's your Olympic gold medal? Hmm, I thin k you're the fluff! At least he has one!

Jacobs couldn’t even win the SEC championship 😂😂😂

Do you believe in jacobs? Please....

He's a lucky guy right time right moment but still he won congrats to him 😅

I'll bet my house Jacobs wont even make the olympic final.

​@GreekboyyD He won't. These are world class sprinter and Gatlin is a all time great. He understands the difference between personal best vs your average. Jacobs is not running 9.8 again

Why not? Outside of Noah and oblique, no one is really lighting the world on fire in the 100

He’s a fluke no shade it’s just facts. He’s not even top 10 fastest in the world this year.

Yes I believe it’s a fluke

Was Jacobs win a fluke? Of course not don't be ridiculous! Is he a one hit wonder? Thats a better conversation. 🇯🇲🇨🇦

Jacobs won’t repeat OR get any medal

Jacobs has to be the worst achieving alot..he won many titles but he still run sub 10 really few times..

That entire Olympics was b.s.

Absolute drug cheat. You don't make those kinds of crazy improvenents in such a short period of time. How people believe he wasn't juiced out of his mind is eye-opening
